Gluten-Free Raspberry Pear Crisp with Walnuts

Raspberries and Pears! Mmm...
I've decided that my favorite fruit pairing is raspberries and pears.

During the fall farmers market here in Lincoln, I had the most delicious tart with those two fruits. It was incredible!

I started looking online for gluten-free recipes for a crisp or tart. I found one that looked promising, but I couldn't open the recipe. So disappointing!

So, I decided to make my own.

I know I don't do much with food on this blog, but food is important in everyone's lives. It's how we live. It's what sustains us to experience life! Taste is an incredible sense. It's just another way to experience the goodness in this world.

I hope you enjoy! :)

1/4 c Coconut Flour

* You can make it full of gluten-y flour if you're not gluten-free! If you want to make it Paleo, choose your favorite flour.

** If you like a sweeter crumble, double the amount of sugar. I was trying to make mine a little more healthy, so I used about half of the normal amount for crisps.
